/**
* \brief BONDI filesystem API.
*
* The BONDI filesystem API provides access to the filesystem of a device. The
* filesystem is abstractly represented as a collection of disjoint filesystem
* root locations each corresponding to some specific location in the device
* filesystem. The filesystem API exposes the hierarchies below these root
* locations as a single virtual filesystem but provides no access to other
* parts of the device filesystem.
*
* The roots that are exposed are determined by the platform also by the
* context in which the filesystem API is invoked.
*
* Each root has a string name. Each file or directory within the virtual
* filesystem is addressed using a fully-qualified path of the form:
* <em>&lt;root name&gt;/&lt;path&gt;</em> where <em>&lt;rootname&gt;</em> is
* the name of the root and <em>&lt;path&gt;</em> is the path to the file or
* directory relative to that root.
*
* The list of the supported root locations can be retrieved by calling
* filesystem.getRootLocations().
*
* The default location for a specific type of file, if one exists, can be
* obtained by calling the filesystem.getDefaultLocation(...) method. A set of
* platform-independent symbolic names for media types is defined. The default
* location for a given file type may itself be a root, or some subdirectory of
* a root. Although the set of roots available on a device is
* platform-dependent, the getDefaultLocation(...) functionality can be used to
* ensure that web applications can be written in a platform-independent way.
*
* In order to access specific locations which are prefixed with a value
* retrieved by filesystem.getDefaultLocation or some root location returned by
* filesystem.getRootLocations a File handle must be retrieved using the
* filesystem.resolve call.
*
* A File handle represents either a file or a directory. If it is a file the
* isFile attribute will be <em>true</em>, otherwise the isDirectory attribute
* will be <em>true</em>. A file can be opened for reading and writing, using a
* FileStream handle. A directory can be used to list its contents which is a
* list of files and sub-directories. There is a resolve method on directories
* as well in order to resolve files or sub-directories more conveniently than
* processing directory listings.
*
* The "/" character is used as the (path) component separator.
* The use of "." or ".." in location components is not required to be
* supported.
*
* All path characters need to be <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2279.txt">UTF-8</a> encoded.
